yeah…
that’s the drawback i ran into with the Ottobit.
you can set it’s system to have stereo IN and OUT for all of the other features like the amazing filtering and the bit crushing…but the glitch/stutter is mono.

i REALLY like the way it reacts and glitches the noiz but the most important thing for me is that it is syncable to MIDI clock!

as mentioned already…the KP3 is also a GREAT candidate!
you would need to be able to send a S&H LFO over CC to get a similar random glitch effect.

This demo of Microcosm does lots of delicious stutter things with synths and drum machines too (incl. Digitakt, Moog Sirin, OP-1). https://youtu.be/9uPD9ev2QJQ

Ok one more left field idea: Korg NTS-1 + sinevibes rerun algo (I’m sure there are other stutter like algos for it.) https://www.sinevibes.com/korgrerun/

MASF Possessed, or Raptio, CBA Mood, MWFX Judder, Drolo Stammen, Bananana Mandala, Hexe Revolver, Pladask Fabrikat, Montreal Assembly Count To Five…tons of options out there depending what your needs are.

because you mention that sometimes you jam with your guitarbuddy.
the stretchweaver has 2 inputs for different instruments that can effect each other in various ways.
the third mode does repeat/stutter.
it works like that: by playing louder you can make your buddys guitar stutter.
and when he plays his guitar loud enough he can make your setup stutter.
can be much fun.
the downside is this pedal is notoriously difficult to come by.

Nice interaction idea! Come to think of it, could Mood do something similar in Env mode? (With mood on a send, feed it some signal, ‘loop’ that in Env mode > cut the signal and send guitar to mood, set treshold so that guitar takes over the stutter as function of treshold?)

Not a pedal, but ableton’s Beat repeat is pretty great. Able to add variance to specific intervals for stutter. Able to add Chance as well to keep it feeling organic. Sold my infinite jets because ableton did the trick for me. Connecting it with a MIDI foot controller can control different functions.

yes, the env mode does that.
i just tried this again. and there is some bleed from the triggering signal when the pedal is set to full wet.
also there is degradtion of the sampled material because you at full sample rate you have only about 1 second recording time so you lower the sample to get more seconds. it sounds great though.
the mood excels as a texture maschine with many happy little accidents. to get a repeatable stutter effect at high fidelity take a look at the roland scooper/demora or the scatter section of a mc101.

ableton’s beat repeat is what Id love in an external pedal, I think the ottobit and pladask come closest to it from what I’ve seen but then you have other pedals which can do so much more… i guess maybe I’m looking at getting a couple now :grinning:

FYI i’ve been in touch with the king of gear people and they have not stopped making pedals, just a COVID hiatus. Join the mailing list for future updates.

Cooper Fx Outward V2 is really good for this type of thing. has built in lfos and timestretch. also an envelope threshold function that enables the chop/stutter once the threshold is reached. you can set a square wave lfo to trigger freeze on a granular patch. you can do buffer scrubbing similar to clouds. the whole thing is similar to clouds actually, but has its own internal lfos for modulating things like clock speed, grain size, pitch, position, freeze. has exp(cv) in & midi in as well for external modulation and/or preset switching and other cool things

This is probably slightly off topic, but I didn’t find another thread to post this on to…

Does anyone remember what was that experimental pedal which was really great in making “liquidy” electric organic sounds… i believe it was a modded Boss pedal of some kind… and rare. Been thinking and googling without any results for the last hour or so…

#50

You might be thinking of the modded nux time core which was done by Seppuku as “digital water” and also ADD pedals as the “data error”. I’ve tried both and I wasn’t super impressed, honestly. It’s just a circuit bend that introduces some pitch modulation into the delay line. Cool sounding but not really worth a wild price or a wild goose chase.

Yep, the Tensor is great. It is kind of like a Make Noise Echophone in pedal format. I still haven’t fully wrapped my head around how it actually works but the results are always very weird but very musical.

Also don’t overlook the Boss DD-500 for this kind of stuff. It is deeply programmable with many internal modulators and two parallel delay engines. Stuttery stuff is easy, you can find it used for a good price and it covers way more than just stutters if needed. You do have to program it though, there is no dedicated “stutter mode”.

Ah yes, it was Seppuku… thanks! And now I also remember why I stopped chasing one… the price and what it does don’t match up. But this ADD I hadn’t heard about, seems they are not that expensive.

#53

I’m interested in how people are using Tensor, I have one and use it a lot but similarly don’t feel fully connected with it. If there was a way to control the decay of the overdub without using the app I think I’d like it a lot more. The random feature is quite mysterious kind of controllable

#54

question…
how are you getting the stutter kind of effect out of the DD-500.
i have one but did not know you could use it in that way.

#55

I use it as an end of chain mangler. Here’s a video if you’re interested.

Really appreciate the input and its given me some stuff to look at beyond my initial scope… Ezhi & Aka the blob is something ill keep my eyes peeled out for!

For the moment I’m going ottobit based on it looking a little easier to control compared to other options and will prob go for the microcosm when they are avail again.
